(I took a grad level course in natural-language processing, a similar recursive process.)

Initial identification of object (potato, rock, gold nugget? rotten potato? misshapen potato?) on a rapidly spinning conveyor belt. Chose hand attack (elevation direction on three axis) in preparation for grab. Identify proximate objects-recalculate/reposition attack. Identify handhold on target object (a facet on a cut rock, a bump on a rounded rock, soft spot on rotten potato, etc), and finally choose a grasping sequence (and attendant avoidance sequence for proximate objects) and motion calculus for said object. Then Strike like a Cobra LOL.

artificial intelligence is eating us humans up due to its "information hunger".

[GoghGoner]

Surprised nobody has a thread on AI here. It appears we may have created an intelligent entity that can replace most white-collar jobs. If I am correct, then the impact is bigger than anything we have seen in our lifetime. I have played with it quite a bit and it does comprehend text better than humans.

[Plantagenet]

How do you access GPT4?

Would you post a link, please?

And do you interact with it by posting text or by speaking?

Can you get it to create AI pictures and movies?

How is it going to take over white collar jobs? Isn't AI just a tool that a white collar worker would use to do HIS job?

AND

Could Joe Biden use it to make smarter decisions?



Cheers!

GPT4 has a website on OpenAI that you can try out but you need to register. There is also Bard and Bing Chat AIs available but GPT4 is the best of the bunch as of this moment.

When GPT3 came out last year, I thought it was hyped a little too much but the improvement in GPT4 is amazing. I do software development and use AIs quite a bit on a daily basis. I find its reading comprehension on par with some of the smartest folks I know and definitely way above average. It will easily be able to write anything including computer code, law, or even news articles.

Anyway, I haven't been back here in some time. Be nice to the AI when interfacing because you never know when it may decide it doesn't like you. Good luck

I asked CHAT-GPT when peak oil would happen.



CHAT-GPT is the new AI (artificial intelligence) agent that supposedly has access to all the information in the world.

I was a little disappointed that CHAT-GPT----at least in the format I accessed it----- didn't give me its own opinion but merely summed up the current state of research on this topic, complete with links and references at the end of its report.

CHAT-GPT reported that the most recent study of global oil reserves done in 2022 by a Norwegian oil company estimates that peak oil would occur by 2030 due to a transition to alternative energy resulting in peak demand. CHAT-GPT added that others in the business world and academia also think that peak oil will happen by 2030 (I note this is also the topic of this thread) but that others think it will happen by 2040 and still others think the entire concept of peak oil is flawed.

IMHO, that pretty much sums up the last 30 years of discussion of peak oil right there, and in a cogent way.

Some predict peak oil by 2030...a smaller number predict peak oil by 2040.....and some don't think peak oil will happen at all.

THANKS CHAT-GPT, for all your help.....

Cheers!

[Plantagenet]

I just asked CHAT-GPT (the original on-line AI) when peak oil will happen.

I was using the free version so perhaps one might get a more detailed answer from the "pay" version or the newer GPT4.

But for what its worth, CHAT-GPT said the most recent study of global oil reserves and demand---done in Norway in 2022--- predicted peak oil by 2030 due to a peak in oil demand.



Cheers!

Spoiler alert....1+2=3 is wrong!

Apparently all they do is spill out an amalgam of writing. Therefore it contains l our human bias'.

ChatGPT Recommends Massive Allocations In Gold In Its "Recession-Proof" Portfolio

Is ChatGPT, the Revolutionary AI, a Gold Bug? The AI Suggests Massive Diversification Across a Range of Cash-Like Assets and Commodities

NEW YORK, April 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- A new report by Gold IRA Guide found that ChatGPT's ideal model of a "recession proof" investment portfolio includes large allocations (20%) in gold and other precious metals. This figure far exceeds the number proposed by prominent "gold bug" wealth managers such as Ray Dalio and Peter Schiff.

lol. I wonder what it's opinion on crypto is...

[theluckycountry]

Well the A.I. Bubble is well entrenched with NVIDIA's market capitalization at 3 Trillion. It's shares are up ten fold (an order of magnitude) in the past two years. More than enough to balance the current losses in the EV complex I's assume. I don't know what other companies have benefitted, no doubt microsoft and google, and anyone who threw an AI chat-bot out onto a device I presume.

That's how it goes, in the late 90's it was any company that put a .com after it's name, and back 5 or so years ago, any company that came out with a coin, Kodak cryptocoin for example. Kodak's share price skyrocketed when they issued that lol. The major automakers like BMW and Mercedes saw big stock gains a few years back when they announced their autonomous car research, a few billion dollars tossed into R&D and a massive share price increase.

It's not just these companies and their execs (think share options sold at the top) that benefit, but wall street gets commissions when people move their money from one bubble to the next. Banks too of course with the new loans and Governments who tax you on the increase in your portfolio. It's a beautiful money tree for all of them, all except the saps running from bubble to bubble that is.

Why people keep throwing money away on these scams is the great mystery to me? They must just like to lose money. Perhaps they feel guilty for being a planet destroying human virus and this is their way of making amends t the Universe? Or it might be more fundamental, that Gambling mindset where the player gets a perverse sense of satisfaction when they lose?

Jul 21, 2016 — People addicted to gambling frequently report that, despite losses stacking up, the buzz keeps bringing them back to the card table or slot machine. https://www.bbc.com/future/article/2016 ... e-gambling

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I')n a survey of 5,500 gamblers, the prospect of the chance to “win big money” was the strongest factor. But it was followed closely by “because it’s fun” and “because it’s exciting”.

"Even when you’re losing while you’re gambling, your body is still producing adrenalin and endorphins," he says. “People are buying entertainment.”

This is backed up by a 2009 study by researchers from the University of Stanford in California, who found that around 92% of people had “loss thresholds” below which they would not go. However, the fact that they lost money overall after visiting a casino, for example, did not necessarily impact their overall enjoyment of the experience.

"People seem to be satisfied with relatively small wins, and will tolerate even smaller losses," said co-author Sridhar Narayanan at the time. "They tend to be conscious that, in the long run, they are more likely to lose than win." And losing could actually, momentarily at least, boost the positive response to a win. This is because of how gamblers’ expectations of winning change during a losing streak.

How does that gambling business relate to A.I? From the article above...

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'G')riffiths gives the example of UK gaming machines which are designed with adaptive logic that means they might pay out more than they take from customers during a certain period, after which they will revert to a less generous system. This means that some players try to seek out (or “skim”) machines which have been holding back jackpots, in the hope of being there when the tide turns.
